We will NOT be working tonight at Whitehall, as the excavator will not be available.

HOWEVER....We will be working on Friday, June 6, 2014.

There will be a big truck delivery in the afternoon so please do not park along the woods by the Disc Shoe area. The layout is done and has been staked, PLEASE DO NOT WALK ACROSS OR NEAR THE WORK AREA...

We will plan on meeting around 6:00, dig holes, and place the posts Friday, depending on Tom West Jr.﻿'s schedule, more may happen on Saturday and Sunday.

It will be very appreciated to see some volunteers help us out (new faces), as we know it is not just us who enjoy the course and its amenities.

With more people, it really goes quick, I can almost guarantee there will be time to play after we get done.

Shoot me an email or text with questions. See each and every one of you Friday

Whitehall Course improvements

We are shooting for sometime in April to get moving on the construction of a shelter at the Whitehall course. We are seeking volunteers to help out with labor and/or equipment. If anyone has experience in construction, or knows someone that would donate their time to help us out, that would be great. We will provide all of the labor and materials. Send me a pm if you know of anyone, or are interested in helping.

We are also hoping to finish up on the "Deep Deep" 9, so if you want to help with that we are seeking volunteers as well. Mostly clearing brush and trimming branches.

Reward

We now have two bags stolen recently from our Whitehall Disc Golf family. Our reward will be expanded accordingly, with cash and new plastic given to individuals who report any information related to these thefts.

River City Road Show- Saturday, November 2, 2013

River City Road Show participants, as an added treat, we will have a keg of Mitten Brewing- Country Strong IPA available around 3:00pm on Saturday, if you bring a growler you can fill it for $7.00, that's a damn good deal....Check it out and pass it on.

New Years party rescheduled

New holes at Whitehall

Reminder: We will have a work evening at Whitehall on Thursday, August 30, 2012. The focus will be to clear brush lefty behind by the loggers on the new 9. Once that is done we will start puting baskets in. If you would like to help out, we will start around 6:30 at the parking lot. The club will buy pizza and beverages for everyone. we'll work until dark, we shold be able to get quite a bit done. email or call me with questions. If you can't make it that night but would still like to help, let me know and I can show you the new layout.

WDG Update

Whitehall Disc Golf Update: There are 9 new holes designed and marked, that will eventually complete the "Deep 18" (formerly known as the Deep 9). As most of you know, the logging crews left a huge mess out there, so there is a ton of brush clearing to be done. Our hopes were to have this new design complete and ready for the HMC 9 in September, at this point that may be a bit ambitious... If anyone would like to help out in getting the holes cleared an playable, that would be a h ...

If anyone would like to help out in getting the holes cleared an playable, that would be a huge help. If someone has access to a wood chipper, that would be a double bonus. We will be setting up a course maintenance day soon, in the meantime, if anyone is interested in helping, let me know and I can show you the layout and what needs to be done.

Also, you might have noticed the new signs on the front and back, another great addition to our course. Thanks to the Churches and Whitehall Township for making that happen, and to Mike Shields for all of his help with the signs and installation.

Thanks again to Tim, Oliver, and Ella Evans for taking out the trash.

Ace Race is filling up so if you want in you better sign up, looks like a sweet package this year, and remember, we are capping at 50 so once we hit that, sawwwry.

Don't forget that Leagues will be at Montague this coming Monday Night (7-30-12), get there as early as possible so we can get moving by 6.

Recap of Henderson Lake Grand Opening

We want to thank all who participated in the "Grand Opening" tournament and to those who just came out to support the Township Park. Everyone seemed to have a great time even though we had cooler temps and a little rain. A special thanks to Amy and Jason for pulling all of this together, and working the many hours to get the course in shape. We are hoping to get support for projects, throughout the summer and fall: to put in concrete pads, benches, and hole marker posts. We will be mak ...

We do ask your support in keeping the course and equipment free of markings. We have trash barrels on some holes so please carry your trash (and that which you pick up) to one of the barrels. Also, please refrain from and remind others to refrain from the breaking of branches and trees.

Deuces for Dewey May 19th 2012

This tournament is a fundraiser for Dwight "Dewey" Lewis who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Dwight is a founding father of our league @ our beloved course and a brother in the family here at Whitehall. We are hoping to have an "everybody wins" type event and raise a little cash for his medical expenses.

This tournament is a fundraiser for Dwight "Dewey" Lewis who is recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Dwight is a founding father of our league @ our beloved course and a brother in the family here at Whitehall. We are hoping to have an "everybody wins" type event and raise a little cash for his medical expenses. There will be 2 rounds of a "deuce" race. 18 holes @ Whitehall Township DGC where some tees will be altered to foster more deuce-ability. Round 2 will be a glow deuce race @ a temporary private course (I like to call Funabashi City) next to WTDGC. During this absolutely ridiculous and fun round we have hired the veteran jam band Big Tobacco to perform on a stage overlooking the glow course. Campers are welcome at this event for Saturday night. We will pay out handsomely to the winning team members with prize packs. Prizes will be top of the line plastic, gift certificates, whizz-bangs, doo-dads and what-nots valued at $50 and up.

-$25 entry fee
-$15 for party and camping only
-Registration open 2pm
-1st round tee off 3pm @ WTDGC
-2nd round tee off dusk @ Funabashi City
-Costumes welcome
-Limited food available for sale @ Funabashi City
-Many $1 contests for prizes during the break
-Scoring: 1pt for a deuce and 3pts for aces. (no pts for metal) The top 6 players from round 1 will be team captains and 6 random teams will be formed for the glow round. Each team will have different colored glow devices. (Glow devices must be worn during play) The 1st round individual scores will be added together with your random draw team mates for the 2nd round. The team with the most points wins a prize pack for each player. Sound confusing? Great!

Dwights Army Benefit

Whitehall Disc Golf has a ton of cool stuff that will be auctioned off at the event, including signed discs from Nate Doss, Eric McCabe, and Val Jenkins, as well as a bunch of custom stuff from J-Bird. There will also be a portable basket available that was donated by Innova for the event. Come on out for a good cause and pick up some cool stuff.

NO LEAGUE SUNDAY FEBRUARY 26, 2012

Attention Whitehall League players: We will NOT be having Frosty Brau Leagues on Sunday, February 26, 2012. As you all know, this is the day of the benefit for Dwight Lewis at Fricano's in Muskegon. Please pass this information on to others.

October 22, 2011 Ace Race

Attention Ace Racers....Due to a large number of people verbally signing up and not paying, it will be 1st come 1st serve basis on Saturday for the non-payers. I would suggest that you pay me ASAP if you want a spot reserved as we could easily go over the 75 packages I bought. Those of you who have contacted me are still safe, those of you who have not, don't be surprised if your spot is gone when we roll. I have given at least 2 months worth of opportunities for people to contact me and to ...

Those of you who have contacted me are still safe, those of you who have not, don't be surprised if your spot is gone when we roll. I have given at least 2 months worth of opportunities for people to contact me and to pay so there you have it....And I have seen, or even played with many of you in this time...

I will be at the course tonight with the packages, I would suggest that you try to make it out early to pick your stuff up, I am closing up shop and playing disc golf no later than 6:00, so you will have to wait until I am done playing if you come later than that. Not being a dick, but I don't get many opportunities to play anymore so I don't want to stand around the parking lot all night while people pick out discs.

We will be playing a mock ace race tonight if anyone is interested. 6:00 tee off.

October 10, 2011 Whitehall Disc Golf Club Meeting

Whitehall League update

We're gonna keep on keepin on....

Whitehall Disc Golf has extended the Spring/Summer League. We were originally scheduled to end in August, but we are going to keep it rolling until the snow flies. After that, we will continue through the winter with a quasi-organized league (due to lower anticipated numbers). We will also have a fun night cook out as discussed last Monday, which will be on August 30, 2010. We will try to start an hour or more earlier. Shirts and Discs are in the works, thanks for your patience and continue ...
